BACKGROUND
Opioid agonists have been implicated in neuroprotection from hypoxic injury through regulating mitogen-activated protein kinases and cytokines. We determined the effects of remifentanil in… (More)

OBJECTIVE
The conventional method for the analysis of myocardial cell transplantation depends on postmortem histology. Here, we have sought to demonstrate the feasibility of a longitudinal monitoring… (More)

BACKGROUND
Remifentanil is known to attenuate the cardiovascular responses to tracheal intubation. We determined effective doses (ED(50)/ED(95)) of remifentanil to prevent the pressor response to… (More)

Spinal metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) have been known to be involved in the modulation of nociception. While the antinociceptive effects of the mGluR1/5 have been demonstrated, the role of… (More)
